Research undertaken by Roy Morgan and released by the Alliance for Gambling Reform has revealed that 15.5 per cent of Australians had a bet in the 12 months to March, more than double the seven per cent found to have bet between April 2019 and March 2020. Roy Morgan also found that third of spending on bets is placed by people with a gambling problem, despite problem gamblers representing just 10 per cent of punters. Commenting on Roy Morgan’s findings, Alliance for Gambling Reform interim CEO Martin Thomas says they highlight how a "predatory online gambling industry is ensnaring a whole new generation into gambling".
